After the four people agreed on the matter, they lay on the bed with their own thoughts.
They had no appetite to eat, so they returned to the dormitory early. The other workers in the dormitory had not yet returned.
After lying down for about an hour, Zhou Maoxue suddenly felt something was wrong.
He patted the bed frame and woke up the upper bunk.
The upper bunk looked down: "What's wrong?"
"Why are we the only ones in the house today? Where have everyone else gone?"
The upper bunk was a little confused: "Yes, where have everyone gone?"
"I am asking you!"
"have no idea."
Zhou Maoxue propped himself up, his mind filled with doubts.
Normally at this time, many people come here with food to listen to their lectures.
But today, I didn't see anyone.
Could it be that there was an event and they were not notified?
"Oh, why are you so worried? We will leave tomorrow. When they come back and say goodbye, it will be over. Just rest." The upper bunk muttered.
Zhou Maoxue thought about it and felt it made sense, so he turned over and lay back down.
I don’t know how much time passed, but it was already dark.
No one lit the lights in the room, and it was still pitch black.
In the darkness, Zhou Maoxue opened his eyes: "Are you sleeping? Why haven't they come back yet? Has something happened? How about we go out and take a look?"
"Okay, let's take a look." The other three said in unison.
The other three people also became more and more anxious as they waited. The situation today was indeed a bit strange.
It was as if the four of them were isolated.
They hit it off immediately, Zhou Maoxue lit the oil lamp and prepared to go out with the other three people in hand.
But at this time!
There was a burst of noise and the door was pushed open suddenly.
Zhou Maoxue and others were so frightened that the oil lamp fell to the ground.
But there was still a ball of fire burning in front of me...
Zhou Maoxue's face turned pale. Looking at the gloomy face illuminated by the firelight from bottom to top, he exclaimed: "Su Tian, Lao Tian?"
The ravines on Su Tian's face were highlighted by the light, and he smiled solemnly when he heard his cry: "Xiao Zhou, have you put on new clothes?"
There were an unknown number of people behind him, and rows of big teeth were vaguely floating...
Zhou Maoxue and others took a few steps back and pointed at Su Tian with trembling hands: "You...what do you want to do?"
Black factory! The black factory won't let me leave?
Seeing this, Su Tian straightened his waist and glanced around: "Oh, why is this room so dark? Who is going to light the lamp?"
After he finished speaking, someone immediately went to look for oil lamps. Several oil lamps were lit, and the room became much brighter.
Only then did Zhou Maoxue clearly see Lao Tian and the dozen or so people behind him.
There are many other dormitories with the same dormitory, in short, they are the group of people who often come to visit.
Lao Tian is holding a cake in his hand with two candles on it.
Zhou Maoxue said in shock: "Old Tian, what do you want to do?"
Lao Tian was also stunned: "What are you doing? Isn't it your birthday today? It's your birthday. It's a welfare for our factory."
"My birthday?...Yes, it's my birthday." Zhou Maoxue was in a daze for a moment, and then he remembered that he had left a fake birth date when he entered the factory. It seemed like it was today.
Su Tian put the cake on the table and scratched his head: "Didn't you put on your new clothes? Come on, there are some good things today. It's all brothers' wishes."
Zhou Maoxue swallowed and felt much more at ease. He looked at the strange things on the table and asked, "What is this?"
Su Tian smiled proudly: "You haven't seen it, have you? This is something that has been ordered, called cake! Do you know, I heard that it is made with a secret recipe passed down from the Jianye Marquis Mansion, and it uses all good things, milk. It’s filled with sugar, refined noodles, etc. I heard it’s very soft.”
"Look, there are words written for you on it."
Zhou Maoxue looked over and his expression suddenly froze.
There are eight big characters on it: "Blessings are like the East China Sea, life is as long as the Southern Mountains." 】
Such a blessing was obviously a little early for him, but the crooked handwriting really moved him.
It seems that it was written by these illiterate people. People who can write cannot write such ugly words.
"Thank you all, Zhou accepted this offer." Zhou Maoxue stood up and bowed respectfully.
He raised his head and asked: "This cake uses precious ingredients. Who spent the money and how much did it cost?"
Su Tian waved his hands indifferently and said, "Oh, there aren't many people. This is all a trivial matter. You can eat first."
"No, I have to know your thoughts, how much is it?" Zhou Maoxue said again.
What is your living standard? Can these workers pay for a meal for him?
Su Tian smiled awkwardly: "You see you are really... In our factory, everyone is given two taels of silver on their birthday. The 2 taels of cake were bought for you by the co-workers. It is not easy for you to teach everyone how to read. Everyone I'm just trying to raise some money to do something better for you. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not... Just blow out the candles. I heard the master has to blow out the candles."
"How much?!" Zhou Maoxue suddenly raised his voice, "Did your money come from the strong wind?"
Two taels of silver? That’s a month’s wages for a worker. Even if many people chip in, it still costs too much!
"Oh, come on, eat it! I heard the thing will melt!" Su Tian impatiently pulled him to a chair, "Hurry up and blow it!"
Zhou Maoxue sighed and blew out the two poor candles with one blow.
Immediately, a worker pulled out the candle and carefully stored it under the bed.
Su Tian took out a pair of chopsticks with a smile and put them into Zhou Maoxue's hands: "Eat, you will teach everyone, this is everyone's wish!"
Looking at the expectant eyes around him, Zhou Maoxue silently took the chopsticks, took a small piece, and sipped it in his mouth.
A sweet and creamy feeling slowly spreads in the mouth....
"Okay!" A round of applause suddenly sounded in the room.
"Is it delicious?" Su Tian swallowed, and many workers behind him came over at the same time, with expectant looks on their faces.
Just by looking at it, you can tell it's delicious.
It's a pity that I usually don't even dare to think about it, but now I can read real people's reviews...
Zhou Maoxue looked at Su Tian and then at the dull-witted co-workers.
My nose was sore and my eyes were red.
"It's... delicious. You all eat it. Eat it all." He quickly pushed the cake over.
Without any explanation, he took the chopsticks and cut the cake into many small pieces.
Seeing that no one dared to move, the three disciples went up without hesitation and took a small piece each, putting it in their mouths to taste.
Seeing that someone made the move first, Su Tian and others no longer hesitated and started to go forward to get the cake.
Not long after, there was a tut-tsk sound.
"Oh, this is so sweet and fragrant! No wonder it's so expensive!"
